I think this franchise seriously overestimates its own importance.

"The return of xander cage"?? Was there anyone on the planet waiting for that?

Page is playing Plant! Gilmour and Waters are back together! Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen are coming out of retirement! and... uh "Xander Cage" is back in that dumb movie??

still.... upvote, because Donnie Yen.

I hate basketball. That being said, I watched this whole thing because Michael Jordan wasn't just a player; he was an artist. Simply amazing.

People of the world... I introduce you... the next Michael Jordan!

@kceaton1 - yeah, i spose a michael jordan type is a force unto itself. Doesn't matter what a coach says, it'll be natural to do it like that.

@dannym3141 I agree with everything you said. I want to see FAR more plays like that. Plays like that are what make sports fun to watch in the first place. But, the reason you don't see those moves very often are for the exact reasons I stated. Unless you are a Michael Jordan and get the "go ahead" to play like this or moreover you have such talent (as in Jordan's case) that these type of plays will happen just due to the nature of his play-style. Like you said it depends on the player and their talent and I completely agree with you.

At the same time coaches will try to reign in three point shooting, alley-oops, high risk plays, etc... But, they tend to allow the plays to be "on the floor" when certain players enter the game and thus shift the dynamics. Thus, like you said, it's the players--ultimately it truly does come down to the player on the court and "the moment" (which if you've played Basketball, or really any sport you know what I mean by that--the moment when things happen to line up, perfectly, and naturally you react with a play you already know OR something that "feels" natural).

If the player can pull off the move performed in the video just as well as a regular dunk or layup, have at it, as it creates great momentum and ignites (or deflates) the crowd which are intangibles that are VERY important in a game and don't appear on a scoring sheet, but I'll be the first to tell you it (they) should be a statistic measuring something as they can win games.

You don't see this very much in the NBA for a few reasons. One, the defense is tighter, BUT there are still players that can still most definitely pull this off no problems. The reason said players do not pull off said play is because your coach will rip off your head and shit down your throat...as Duke Nukem so elegantly puts it.
It is a play of pure showboating extreme and not meant for professional play. Your number one goal set by your coach (and to be honest the owners as well) in a professional league is to make sure the ball goes in first, showboating is your secondary consideration to pump up the crowd. If you're ahead by 30 points with six minutes left in the fourth quarter maybe they will give you some leeway on doing such things.
I know the number of times I've seen it done are very few and far in between; much like behind the backboard shots (which require you to be VERY careful with your aim if you want it to count).


I kinda think it made it easier for him to score, if he's proficient at it such that he trusts the move. I hope you're just being a bit negative. I'm not into basketball, but the supreme confidence in one's abilities to the point where you can perform indefensible moves or sleight of hand is what made michael jordan exciting whether you like basketball or not. More like that is not a bad thing.

Someone had posted a "Michael Jordan's top 10 dunks" video and I thought, "oh, hell no". Jordan may have been an awe-inspiring player but he was not the dunker that Vince Carter was.

Just like anything in this world people do it as a form of competition. Whether he competes or not is not the point, the point is to have a better system than anyone else you know.

The problem I have with competing in things like this is that it ultimately comes down to who spends the most money and there will always be someone who can afford to spend more than you. If you're competing as an athlete, then at least you have the option of training harder, improving or learning new technique, changing your style, strategy or approach to the sport, focus on being great at one aspect, etc. Of course it's still almost guaranteed you're not the next Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, Nolan Ryan, Georges St-Pierre, or Emmitt Smith, but at least you can still compete against yourself... test your own limits. At least if you're building the system you're applying some technical skills and techniques; most of the douche bags that drive around like this just paid for someone else to do all the work. I don't see why they're so proud.

Yeah. looks like he's having a lot of fun /sarcasm. Doesn't this level of intensity and time invested kind of defeat the point of gaming as entertainment/escapism/stress relief? I mean, sure, maybe this is the kind of way he LIKES to play, but... I dunno... seems moronic to me.


He's arguably a professional athlete. Would you give the same criticism to Michael Jordan during one of his workouts? What about a chess grandmaster?

I hate that the English language doesn't have a better term for "Interactive digital experience" other than "game". It seriously holds back the field of computing. Any visual world or system that you interact with has to be a "game", it can't be serious or educational.
